What the pupils say
 "Writing class is really fun.
My teacher says that my writing is getting better every week. I joined it because I love writing and I would like to improve it.
My favourite bit about writing is when I get to the middle of the story because that is when the problem comes in.
To me the problem is the easiest part.
At school we have to do a plan before we write the story. I'm not very good at writing plans because all my ideas are in my head, and it's hard to put them in notes.
"
- Lauren,
student
"Writing
is not just a piece of paper, writing is a place.
Writing is a place where anything is possible, and there are
no rules. It’s a place for imagination to go absolutely mad.
Everyone has their own little creative writing world. They
probably don’t use it properly. But I manage to get into
mine every week and that’s brilliant."
- Matthew,
student
What the parents say
"The
creative writing classes run by Louise Pearce are
inspirational. Why? Because my 13-year-old
son Ben gets up at 8 on a Saturday morning, with enthusiasm,
in order to attend a two-hour writing session!
Always a voracious reader and keen creative writer, Ben has
really loved these sessions. Through exercises involving
such things as characterisation, plot and description, they
have given him the tools to focus and refine his writing.
For him, a lesson in itself was having to write something in
only 100 words!
The two hours on a Saturday are not only creative but also
fun and I would encourage parents of both keen and reluctant
writers to let their kids have a try and put pen to paper."
- Helen, mother
"Louise's
class is the place where my daughter comes to dream and let
her imagination run riot. She wouldn't swap it for any other
club in the world!"
- Jana, mother
"Initially Louise's class was to help
my daughter commit her riotous thoughts to paper in an
imaginative, creative way. This achieved, she has begun her
first 'novel' – a work of art and major achievement for a
previously reluctant writer; the inspiration for which can
only be attributed to Louise's determined ability to
understand what drives each child she works with."
- Eartha, mother
"My son enjoys Inkhead's workshops very much and
has been enthused enough to write stories at home, which is
lovely to see. He likes the other children very much, too.";
-Helen, mother
What the teachers say
"My girls have never missed a session! They have
worked on short stories and extended pieces with equal
enthusiasm and great success. Some even write more stories
in their own time and I have received these as gifts from
the girls. I am very pleased that my girls have been given
this extra opportunity.
"
-Mrs. B. Risk, Sydenham High Junior School, London
